Panasonic. They really last a long time
Seee the thing is panasonic is like Kia and Daikin like Toyota One will stop on the hottest day , Daikin won’t
Take LG - Dont take panasonic they are prone to pcb issues.
I have a Panasonic and LG from a few years ago. Panasonic one is a bit older (~1 year) than the LG one and performs way better than the LG. Way faster cooling.
Panasonic brochacho c'mon now. They're really goatee. I got mine this summer and it runs at 27degs through the ENTIRE DAY and barely made a dent in ma bill.

Parent context: I would not get tankless or heat pump in the North East - they are not ready to deal with incoming water that is as cold as it will be in the winter. Give the technology some time to improve, but right now it's not there. Reply: mine works great in Maine for 3 years now
I’ve got a heat pump water heater in Massachusetts and it works great. It uses 2 KWH per day.

I set it only to use heat pump mode and it works fine.
I have one and love it, had it for 6 years, zero issues. On average it uses 775kwh each year in our 3 person household. Lives in the basement, dehumidifies the space somewhat.
